{"product_id":"9781472287069","title":"Project UnLonely : Navigate Loneliness and Reconnect with Others by Jeremy Nobel","description":"Even before 2020, chronic loneliness was a private experience of   profound anguish that had become a public health crisis. Since then it   has reached new heights. While we can't cure  loneliness the way we can cure strep throat or even cancer, there are  concrete, actionable and effective things we can do to manage it and  keep it from becoming chronic. For an individual lonely reader, or for  anyone who loves, serves, treats, or employs people vulnerable to  loneliness in community, work or educational settings, this book will  clarify how meaningful reconnection between the self and others begins,  and how it can be nourished and sustained.   Dr. Nobel  brings together many  voices, from pioneering researchers, to leaders in  business, education,  the arts, and healthcare, to lonely people of every  age, background,  and circumstance. He discovers that the pandemic  isolated us in ways  that were not only physical, and that, at its core, a  true sense of  loneliness results from a disconnection to the self. He  clarifies how  meaningful reconnection can be nourished and sustained.  And he reveals  that an important component of the healing process is  engaging in  creativity, a powerful opportunity he shows us can be  accessed by all. Project UnLonely will  not just sound an alarm about the  significant, growing negative impact  of loneliness on nearly every  sector of society, but also offer  solace, hope and solutions. Supportive and clear-eyed, this is the book  we will take into our new normal and rely on for years to come.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44203362517170,"sku":"9781472287069","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781472287069.jpg?v=1714581660","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781472287069","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
